The Holman Library is excited to announce the 2015-16 One Book: Redeployment by Phil Klay.
Redeployment won the 2014 National Book Award for fiction. It is a powerful collection of short stories that “takes readers to the frontlines of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, asking us to understand what happened there, and what happened to the soldiers who returned.”
Redeployment was selected to coordinate with a yearlong focus on the topic of war proposed by Green River's Humanities Cultural Center, an NEH grant project coordinated by Jaeney Hoene and Marcie Sims. Other collaborating partners on campus include Timm Lovitt, Director of Veteran's Services and Melisa Williams, Director of Student Affairs, which is bringing Phil Klay to campus to speak on the evening of November 12th as part of the Artist and Speaker's Series. Klay's presentation will be just one of many diverse voices during the week of Veteran's Day. Community partners include the White River Valley Museum (WRVM), the Auburn King County Library and the Auburn Arts Commission.
While the One Book Program is a Holman Library program, a core group of faculty has volunteered many hours of time since last summer to read and offer feedback on the books under consideration. The library would like to thank Avis Adams, Jaeney Hoene, Marianne Jacobs, Mike Kenyon and Richard Potsubay for their generous contributions.
